The word is cringey. Dumbass.

According to Merriam-Webster, cringe can be used as an adjective so he's not wrong.

I’m sure that an evening with Bruce Springsteen is thrilling these days. An opportunity to lecture you on how you should hate America and the Orange Man read to you from a teleprompter.

It happens because grown arse adults are stupid enough to spend one dollar on that shite.

How would that ever be satisfying to see some old bag of bones try to be sexy?

A graying old blues singer can sit in his chair, emoting his downbeat lyrics and still look great. An old country duffer strumming his guitar and twanging a tune can similarly be great. An old-time jazz guy like Pete Fountain can noodle out an improv solo and still look great.

But, holy smokes, rock-n-rollers performing into late middle-age and then senior years look absolutely clown-level ridiculous. Maybe they can get away with ballads, but all that goofball hopping around and performance art? Forget it. Unbearable.

The worst is they get the mushmouth geriatric vocal. Dollys latest had it and so does the new Social Distortion. Its off putting and just sad.

Nothing hotter than a 67 year old lady grinding on plexiglass.

Charo resembles a ventriloquist's doll.

She used to be a very attractive woman. Now, though, she looks totally fake and plastic.

Geriatric folks generally don’t give a frick what anyone thinks of them who uses the word “cringe”!

I've considered this before and realized that there may not be any other way for these people to make a living.

Doctors, lawyers, coaches, accountants, politicians, etc. (well almost everyone of most other occupations) can work until their 80's and the general population accepts it. Yet, most of us cringe when a musicians or actor stays around until they look old (which on this site would probably be 45 years old).

But, what if they need to keep making money to pay their bills? I'd bet they may have a lot of people also dependent on them continuing in their careers, too. I doubt many of them can suddenly change occupations. We shouldn't assume that they made all the money they'll ever need before they reach 50 years old and then they should magically stop performing forever.

2023 "End of the Road" tour officially ended Kiss on full fledged tours, other than a one off special occasion here and there.

I saw them in 2022 at Rockville, they put in a fantastic show. Paul Stanley was all over the place!
